Here's a quick and simple dish for your next party, or a light Sunday lunch if you're like me. It's fantastically easy and quick and the flavor is awesome! I don't know what else to say about them, they are really good. So instead I want to talk about one of my favorite movies ever. Some people tend to think that I am a bit of a Scrooge at this time of year, but I'm not. It's just that, for me, the holidays are bittersweet. However, any time I pop in the movie Love Actually, I am reminded that it really is a time to celebrate and be happy with the people you love. I remember when I went to the theater and I was by myself watching the movie and laughing and crying like a baby. To this day, I still have the same reaction! If for some strange reason you have not seen it, please go rent this amazing movie. It will put a smile on even the grumpiest of faces, and lest I sound cheesy, it will warm your heart as well.

And, with regards to Love Actually -- my favorite Christmas movie EVER. I get chills every time I watch it! (Even if I do get irritated that Laura Linney ends up with her brother rather than her hot coworker who she is in love with! Yes, I understand that blood is thicker than water and the point is that sometimes that love is more important, but still. Boo hoo!)

I love Love Actually. One of my best friends just called me this weekend and said, "I'm watching Love Actually and thinking about you." It really is a great movie, one that has made its way into my holiday rotation.~Cat

Love Actually is a great movie! I've been wanting to see it again for ages but now you have really inspired me. And the shrimp look delicious (although it might have to wait until I am in Sydney because good prawns are SO expensive in the OK right now!)
